Sumario:"Canada's Residential Schools: The Métis Experience focuses on an often-overlooked element of Canada's residential school history ... The federal government policy on providing schooling to Métis children was subject to constant change. It viewed the Métis as members of the 'dangerous classes,' whom the residential schools were intended to civilize and assimilate. This view led to the adoption of policies that allowed for the admission of Métis children at various times ... As this volume demonstrates the Métis experience of residential schooling in Canada is long and complex, involving not only the federal government and the churches, but provincial and territorial governments. Much remains to be done to identify and redress the impact that these schools had on Métis children, their families, and their community"--From publisher's description.
